Wordpress has a wp-content folder with your themes and plugins folder inside of it. You put code in themes and plugins in wordpress.

There is over 36,669 free plugins on wordpress.org alone. Take a few hours to learn more and everything will make a lot more sense.

I have the intelligence of a pee pod and can see how to make this site more user friendly....Really!

Then email treehouse and let them know your feedback on how to make it more friendly. I am sure they would love to hear it.

Sorry, need a more simplistic answer and where to find...totally new at this!

Wordpress has 3 main folders when you install it. Those are Wp-Admin, Wp-Content, and Wp-includes. The Wp-Content folder is where your themes and plugins folder are located. Every wordpress site must have a theme and plugins are optional. Usually plugins are installed for custom functionality that the theme itself does not have. You could find these folders in file manager or through FTP/SSH. You can also even edit and see them by going to appearence > editor for themes in wordpress or plugins > editor for plugins. I suggest watching some of the wordpress videos to take it step by step if you don't understand. I have broken it down simple as I can. It seems like you really need to better understand wordpress so you can better understand how it all works and where to put your codes.
